Picture of human milk ducts goes viral

Fascinating knowledge as are the tweets made by woman.

Milk Ducts? What are they? Why do they look like that? Do I really have them? I don't want breasts anymore.


That was the reaction on Twitter after one user shared an image of the flower-like muscles.


The milk-making glands are divided into segments and the narrow tubes - or ducts - carry the milk from each segment to the nipple.


But for some that's apparently not common knowledge - which is why many people online seemed to find the picture hard to swallow.

Perhaps OP needs to decide whether they're muscles or glands. The two are quite different.

Are you ogling my tits?

No my dear, I'm merely observing your mammary glands.

The lactiferous ducts leading from the lactiferous lobules (which is what those are) are surrounded by smooth muscle, and thus the lactiferous system as a whole may be considered part of the female musculature

Edited to add: this Twitter thread by Dr. Sarah Taber explains it all in great detail

I'm seeing a lot of folks flipping their tulip? over milk ducts being included in a muscle diagram because "Those are glands! Not muscles!"

Here's the thing, folks: the lobes/ducts of mammary glands are covered in smooth muscle because boobs do not work like people think they do.

Can we keep any MF related images out of this thread?

Thank you for the clarification.
